Temperature here -4.5C last night and +3C today. Next week forecast is +6/7C overnight and +11/12C daytime. Bonkers. I blame all those burning Teslas.

 

[TheSnowShark]

Wow..

 

[darwink1]

It was a crisp -10 yesterday without the wind chill. Main trails are packed pretty good after 2 good snowfalls but there's still rocks under there lol...

The robin was in our garden earlier this week, must've shifted a bit quick to get to you so soon!

 

[RustyMTB]

Went for a quick test ride up the local to see where the grip is at. I think it's gone down the pub. And I didn't factor in the low sun working like a strobe light through the hedgerows, bringing a whole new meaning to riding blind.

 

[irie]

Yep, the low sun is a bitch when coming home.

It's an interesting thing when considering Las Vegas for mountain biking. When I first heard that Las Vegas had trails, I laughed and thought, no way the place is nothing but desert. Who would think Sin City has some excellent world class mountain biking trails? Yes Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus, Vegas has some bad ass trails.

Theoretically, you can ride Vegas anytime of the year....Vegas get's hotter than Hell in the summer months. As an example, Vegas daytime temps for July average around 105 degree Fahrenheit/40.5 Celsius. One must adapt and overcome...Vegas average night time temps for July is 81 degrees Fahrenheit/27 Celsius. Who doesn't love a late night moonlit ride. Fall, winter and spring months are perfect. As an added plus, Vegas doesn't get a lot of rain, so the trails are rarely rutted or blown out.

Here are some additional pictures of trails around the Vegas area:

The terrain looks identical to what I used to ride in Central Australia!

I'd be worried about bumping into someone burying a dead body!

Retractable nuts help

 

[RustyMTB]

If they're grandad nuts, you don't need them anyway

Meanwhile, I've been at it again lads. Grip = Defcon 2.

Retractable nuts help

Crawfordsburn, N Ireland not long ago.

Very windy and very muddy ride today but it was great to get out. Managed to avoid the rain too which was a bonus.

Ive swapped the front Minion for an Assegai and I think it makes a big difference in the mud and slop. The bike seems to roll better overall. Still have the DHR on the rear and Im liking the combo.

And as usual I gave careful consideration to fueling my body.

A grand day out indeed.

Today tried out a favourite before riding on it with wife tomorrow (UK South Downs). These pics are after the wheels had cleaned up a bit. The front is a Magic Mary and rear a DHR2.
Definitely not a good idea going there tomorrow with the wife!

We recently had a wind event here on the coast and the trails are trashed so I have been doing what I can to avoid them....took a side trip to the light house today.

Going to have to get to work though sooner or later.....cause no one else is going to do it!

No snow on the Malverns (or mud), just lots of steep ups and downs . .
